What good students!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBEq9hS3XUU/Vb4fkaNZj1I/AAAAAAAAUqs/tHW41naynk0/s1600/Dorothy%2Band%2BMindy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VBEq9hS3XUU/Vb4fkaNZj1I/AAAAAAAAUqs/tHW41naynk0/s400/Dorothy%2Band%2BMindy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Dorothy and Mindy worked hard and fast. They both had picked such gorgeous fabrics.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PdBAZFVEY1M/Vb4iC88iJpI/AAAAAAAAUq0/88JNnRXTwD0/s1600/Dorothy%2527s%2BPillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PdBAZFVEY1M/Vb4iC88iJpI/AAAAAAAAUq0/88JNnRXTwD0/s400/Dorothy%2527s%2BPillow.jpg" width="346" /></a></div>Dorothy's pillow will go on her family room sofa. That neutral is the exact color of her walls, and this will fit perfectly with her decor.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cNbjzD-aaQk/Vb4iaxSF3dI/AAAAAAAAUq8/bkV2OcHsWwc/s1600/Mindy%2527s%2BPillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cNbjzD-aaQk/Vb4iaxSF3dI/AAAAAAAAUq8/bkV2OcHsWwc/s400/Mindy%2527s%2BPillow.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Mindy&nbsp; plans to use her pillow on her bed; she was recently gifted a quilt, and chose fabrics that would match. I think she did a pretty darn good job!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SqLx8-xb0Mk/Vb4iyFtgrUI/AAAAAAAAUrE/ESQopq7VU-c/s1600/Mindy%2527s%2BPillow%2Band%2BQuilt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SqLx8-xb0Mk/Vb4iyFtgrUI/AAAAAAAAUrE/ESQopq7VU-c/s400/Mindy%2527s%2BPillow%2Band%2BQuilt.jpg" width="332" /></a></div>&nbsp;Here's a peek at the quilt, and you can see how good a job she did at selecting fabrics to complement it.<br /><br />**An aside concerning the quilt: About a year ago, my quilting friend Terry was making this quilt; Mindy's husband Mike had commissioned her to make one as a surprise for Mindy. It was to celebrate something or other -- a milestone anniversary or birthday, possibly. I even took a picture of it, but I couldn't use it for keeping the quilt secret. Anyway, Mindy has had her quilt for a good while now, so no ruined surprises here. Mindy did call Terry to see if she had any of the scraps left from the quilt; that query was unsuccessful, but it was definitely worth the effort. Mindy's eventual choices work beautifully.<br /><br />Wanna' know what we had for lunch? I served basically the same menu as the first class.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GW0ggDoZ1qI/Vb4kvttm7cI/AAAAAAAAUrQ/XgQ9bSzx7vg/s1600/Sewing%2BClass%2BLunch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GW0ggDoZ1qI/Vb4kvttm7cI/AAAAAAAAUrQ/XgQ9bSzx7vg/s400/Sewing%2BClass%2BLunch.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Chicken salad with grapes and pecans on a bed of lettuce; blueberry muffin, and slices of watermelon and pineapple. Do you think I had a craving for fruit? Served on our screened porch with fountains and birds to serenade us. Very pleasant.<br /><br />So class #2 is in the books, and I still have a list of folks who want to make this project. It may happen; it may not. I do enjoy it. <br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/08/class-is-held.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-4517563590853232092Sat, 01 Aug 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-08-01T06:30:00.901-04:00POTCFinishing Some HandworkBefore leaving for Lake Erie, I prepped some hexies for stitching. I didn't do anything with them while we were away. But, I was prepared!<br /><br />Since being home, I have finished off all that I'd prepped.

Nothing much quilting related, at all, in other words.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2tGSrzMLgUw/Vbd3zBW7ucI/AAAAAAAAUoA/be95WAmTpnU/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528303%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2tGSrzMLgUw/Vbd3zBW7ucI/AAAAAAAAUoA/be95WAmTpnU/s400/FullSizeRender%2528303%2529.jpg" width="356" /></a></div>We hit up the local garden center for some color to add to our yard. Most of this is perennial, so we are filling in for gaps when things aren't in bloom. We got it all planted in a day, and the gardens looked great for the fraternity reunion.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3sOoB8tab4U/Vbd4hhNS9FI/AAAAAAAAUoQ/Cqx2xOlkT9E/s1600/IMG_3262.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3sOoB8tab4U/Vbd4hhNS9FI/AAAAAAAAUoQ/Cqx2xOlkT9E/s400/IMG_3262.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>We "cat-sat" for our DD and her hubby. They were going out of town for a long weekend, so we had Rocky. He just loves being at our house because there is so much more room to roam than what they have in their one-bedroom apartment. He likes to sit on this spot because it affords him views of several areas. Isn't he a pretty guy?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AuaSmU_1lC0/Vbd4fqLeeCI/AAAAAAAAUoM/W7Ut-ncE3CA/s1600/IMG_3276.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AuaSmU_1lC0/Vbd4fqLeeCI/AAAAAAAAUoM/W7Ut-ncE3CA/s400/IMG_3276.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Several of the fraternity guys camped in our woods. We served a hearty breakfast the next morning; sent them off with scrambled eggs and bacon in their tummies.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O57hgTvAJMA/Vbd4irQSTPI/AAAAAAAAUoc/0GWY938_E-c/s1600/IMG_3306.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O57hgTvAJMA/Vbd4irQSTPI/AAAAAAAAUoc/0GWY938_E-c/s400/IMG_3306.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Here are the guys - both alumni and active members. All totaled up, we had about 50 here on Saturday. Several guys brought their wives/girlfriends.

Thus the absence from posting here. Besides the fact that we have been extremely busy with&nbsp; reunion festivities, I haven't had any time for significant sewing, let alone time to blog. But things look to settle down here in the coming week, so maybe I can get my quilty creativity going again.<br /><br />To fully wind down after the big reunion, DH and I are leaving for a short drive to northern Ohio where we hope to take in sights and attractions at Lake Erie, Put-In-Bay, and Kelly's Island. To keep my hands occupied, I prepped these sweet little hexies yesterday.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-COM0M8o6FOA/Vbd0LttSeII/AAAAAAAAUns/2AvdqklqrYM/s1600/Hexies%2BPrepped%2Bfor%2BSewing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-COM0M8o6FOA/Vbd0LttSeII/AAAAAAAAUns/2AvdqklqrYM/s400/Hexies%2BPrepped%2Bfor%2BSewing.jpg" width="260" /></a></div>I took a page right out of my friend Jan's playbook - run copies of paper with the outline of the hexie drawn on, then put down double-sided tape and attach the parts in the desired design. Now they are portable and accessible.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CT6xbHOIAw0/Vbd0oimfvrI/AAAAAAAAUn0/TtAX0lyrjw0/s1600/Hexies%2BVacation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CT6xbHOIAw0/Vbd0oimfvrI/AAAAAAAAUn0/TtAX0lyrjw0/s400/Hexies%2BVacation.jpg" width="322" /></a></div>That POTC block I did a week or so ago still needed to have an outer row, so I made 8 light neutral hexies to attach to it. I am going to try to get those done, too.<br /><br />I must be off! Still a bit to do here before we hit the road!<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/hexie-prep-work.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-1899791336713142382Fri, 24 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-24T06:30:01.291-04:00Brick PathRail FenceWork Shirt QuiltsWork Shirt QuiltsI'm a dawdler. I have an uncanny knack for turning some of the simplest, most straightforward tasks into long, drawn-out projects. Case in point, the two quilts I've been working on for my high school friend using her husband's work shirts. I picked the shirts up in June - probably around the 10th or 15th. I worked on the Brick Path quilt at Quilt Camp during the last week of June. I have taken nearly an entire month to finally finish the second quilt, Rail Fence.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rSaJJqLi6po/VbGvZ89k5kI/AAAAAAAAUnI/XLuRyKE0Cqk/s1600/Holbrook%2BQuilts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rSaJJqLi6po/VbGvZ89k5kI/AAAAAAAAUnI/XLuRyKE0Cqk/s400/Holbrook%2BQuilts.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Here, I have both quilts draped over the little bench out on the front sidewalk. Both have been enjoyable to work on; my own dear dad was a farmer and I have thought a lot about him as I worked to turn these shirts into quilts.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wNmGQVWQrRo/VbGvb2jCE-I/AAAAAAAAUnU/W44NAyyHbOo/s1600/Holbrook%2BRail%2BFence.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="311" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wNmGQVWQrRo/VbGvb2jCE-I/AAAAAAAAUnU/W44NAyyHbOo/s400/Holbrook%2BRail%2BFence.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>This Rail Fence quilt, obviously, was a bit more involved than the first. Those individual blocks have more stitching which required more cutting and more matching and more pinning. I also used two pockets in this one, just like I did on Brick Path.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v3ebblT1__w/VbGvVL7Y2SI/AAAAAAAAUnE/a2Mg0WPrj0I/s1600/Holbrook%2BBrick%2BPath.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v3ebblT1__w/VbGvVL7Y2SI/AAAAAAAAUnE/a2Mg0WPrj0I/s400/Holbrook%2BBrick%2BPath.jpg" width="386" /></a></div>And just because it's been awhile, I will show you Brick Path. I recently purchased some flannel to use for backing, and I hope to have them off to be quilted early next week.<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/work-shirt-quilts.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-7051288180272809975Thu, 23 Jul 2015 12:16:00 +00002015-07-23T08:16:42.215-04:0016-inch pillowBeginning Sewing ClassAnnette's ProgressOne of my beginning quilting students from last Thursday posted a picture on Facebook yesterday that is worthy of my entire post today. Annette came into our sewing session last week as a confident beginner, so it does not surprise me in the least that she has made a second pillow on her own.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LNCGT1ixofk/VbDXTOSBMCI/AAAAAAAAUms/I9VkNsKi_Yw/s1600/Annette%2527s%2B2nd%2BPillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LNCGT1ixofk/VbDXTOSBMCI/AAAAAAAAUms/I9VkNsKi_Yw/s400/Annette%2527s%2B2nd%2BPillow.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>This is a teacher's dream - to see a beginner understand the basic concepts well enough to apply them later with changes to suit her own purposes. I'm sure you see the way she switched the placement of the blocks. Her first pillow is on the left; she created the second pillow completely on her own. Fantastic! Another quilter is born?? Maybe?<a href="http://www.jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/fun-class.html"> Click here to read about the class</a>.<br /><br />Annette says she will return for a second class, and I am considering options for what to teach. My original thought was to do a bag - call it a back-to-school bag, which would appeal to my teacher friends. Alternative suggestions have been a baby quilt and a table runner. Those are both very doable options. Before that, though, I am going to offer the pillow class again because several gals said they wanted to come, but had conflicting plans.<br /><br />Way to go, Annette!! Don't stop!<br /><br />&nbsp;Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/annettes-progress.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-7828853073526685863Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:23:00 +00002015-07-22T14:23:41.113-04:00Fraternityred and white quiltSewing with SharonA Busy WeekThis week is going to be packed. Already, two events have happened, and the biggest is coming on Saturday.<br /><br />Monday evening I hosted the Frienzies for a potluck. Only 6 of the 8 were able to make it, but we still had a fantastic time. We ate on the screened porch and talked till way, way late. It was what we think of when we think of slow, easy summer nights with close friends and delicious food. It was perfect. The only picture I can show from that lovely evening is the centerpiece - all flowers from our yard.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vfaiE8O2ME0/Va_Yg5Rb0AI/AAAAAAAAUl8/jnSniGS-o9k/s1600/Frienzies%2BFlowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vfaiE8O2ME0/Va_Yg5Rb0AI/AAAAAAAAUl8/jnSniGS-o9k/s400/Frienzies%2BFlowers.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Yesterday, Sharon came over for a day of sewing. She is really accomplishing a lot. About a month ago, she and I made a plan to sew certain "themed" quilts together. We have done this before - last summer we used our Roman Holiday fabric in August, and in the winter we devoted March to using our Snowbird fabric. In just casual conversation, we learned that we each wanted to do a red and white quilt, so we decided that July would be our month to get that done. Sharon has been very productive about it; I have not. Yet. There's still some July left, though it appears I am going to miss my deadline. The beauty of our system, though, is that missing a deadline is no big deal. The idea to get a quilt top done by a certain date is more a suggestion than a firm commitment. That suits both Sharon and me perfectly. We have a plan for August, September, and October, too. You'll hear more about those later, no doubt.<br /><br />That's an awful lot of explanation just to show you Sharon's red and white quilt. I will dispense with the words and get to the good stuff - the pictures!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tvsv79GQod0/Va_atfvNdnI/AAAAAAAAUmY/kQkNz80qJZU/s1600/Sharon%2527s%2Bred%2526white2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tvsv79GQod0/Va_atfvNdnI/AAAAAAAAUmY/kQkNz80qJZU/s400/Sharon%2527s%2Bred%2526white2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Sharon selected solid red and solid white for her quilt, and has spent a good amount of time cutting and stitching these checkerboard blocks.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Og5i35K2tJU/Va_asGVLBDI/AAAAAAAAUmI/feTCD6Kow6E/s1600/Sharon%2527s%2Bred%2526white%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Og5i35K2tJU/Va_asGVLBDI/AAAAAAAAUmI/feTCD6Kow6E/s400/Sharon%2527s%2Bred%2526white%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Her pattern comes from a recent <i>APQ</i> magazine cover, which you can see above.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FaiFVAzqrW0/Va_asndTWJI/AAAAAAAAUmU/YZvk_PCRUlk/s1600/Sharon%2527s%2Bred%2526white%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FaiFVAzqrW0/Va_asndTWJI/AAAAAAAAUmU/YZvk_PCRUlk/s400/Sharon%2527s%2Bred%2526white%2B3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Her next task is to make as 'ba-zillion' hourglass blocks; these squares need to be prepped by drawing a diagonal line on the white and matching up with a red. She was not looking forward to this. Why is it that we really dislike doing those types of tasks? Each of us has some part of the quilt construction process that we balk at, I suppose.<br /><br />So what else is planned for this week? My husband's big fraternity reunion will be here this Saturday, complete with campers, a tent, catered dinner, and bonfire. It was a huge success last summer, but&nbsp; RSVPs are down this year. I think the weather is going to cooperate, so even if the numbers are down, those who attend will have beautiful weather to enjoy. <a href="http://www.jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2014/08/reunion-wrap-up.html">Here's a link to details of last summer's party.</a><br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-busy-week.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-424479324110733395Mon, 20 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-20T06:30:03.271-04:00Sewing With FriendsSewing with Friends (part 2)I was having such a difficult time getting my internet to work efficiently on the previous post, so I just quit after showing you the work that Jan and Susan did when we sewed last week at Terry's.<br /><br />Mary, that same Mary at the Grove City Barn I've written about a few times, attended on Tuesday.

I think everyone was taken with the fabrics and colors from the very start.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B3L-QU8kPqo/VaxmbNkZfoI/AAAAAAAAUkk/433SEPyYUTU/s1600/Mary%2527s%2BProgress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B3L-QU8kPqo/VaxmbNkZfoI/AAAAAAAAUkk/433SEPyYUTU/s400/Mary%2527s%2BProgress.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>Even Terry's sweet little Maddie wanted to show us how much she loved it, too.

I regret that I cannot share the work that Laura, JoAnn and Terry did - I didn't take any pictures! Shame!<br /><br />I can, however, share the progress that Sheryll is making on a UFO. This applique quilt was a kit, and she is currently working on quilting it. You, no doubt, have noticed the hoop in the upper right quadrant.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-74xMgNMmSKc/VaxuluHeu-I/AAAAAAAAUlE/MWLu8QHSZFQ/s1600/Sheryll%2527s%2BApplique.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-74xMgNMmSKc/VaxuluHeu-I/AAAAAAAAUlE/MWLu8QHSZFQ/s400/Sheryll%2527s%2BApplique.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>My own work was divided over two projects.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8M_pVXgawk/VaxvrPKmzHI/AAAAAAAAUlQ/uUf_pJcu0IY/s1600/Snowbird%2BHSTs%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a8M_pVXgawk/VaxvrPKmzHI/AAAAAAAAUlQ/uUf_pJcu0IY/s400/Snowbird%2BHSTs%2B2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />&nbsp; I have come so close to finishing this little wall hanging/table topper made with the cutaway portion of some recent flying geese units. I had to cut extra little squares and make more HSTs to finish it off. Well, I had them all sewn together, and - sigh - I found that I wasn't as exact as I needed to be, and they were too big. I spent an hour 'unsewing' and am going to trim them down, resew, and hopefully get this piece finished. Follow-ups forthcoming.<br /><br />My other work was on the second of the work shirt quilts. I made the first one using a Brick Path pattern. This second one is a Rail Fence pattern. Since I am making this up as I go, time will tell when I think this one is finished. I am guessing it's about halfway there, perhaps. We shall see.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sLkoY7Up-C8/VayFRoDOqwI/AAAAAAAAUlk/IdeMO-Z9lBw/s1600/Work%2BShirt%2B%25232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sLkoY7Up-C8/VayFRoDOqwI/AAAAAAAAUlk/IdeMO-Z9lBw/s400/Work%2BShirt%2B%25232.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/sewing-with-friends-part-2.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-8769704358769743982Sun, 19 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-19T06:30:01.303-04:00Sewing With FriendsSewing With FriendsWhat do quilter's do when one's husband is out of town? We gather at her house and sew all day long, and all night too, if we like. Terry's husband was away, so she scheduled some sewing days last week. I went just for day time sewing, but a couple of gals stayed over, and sewed late into night.<br /><br />You will never guess what Jan has gotten into. She swore she wouldn't begin another English Paper Piecing project for a very long time, but my growing interest as well as Sharon P's. and others' - well she was unable to resist. (Remember the post awhile back entitled&nbsp; <a href="http://www.jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/contagion-and-addiction.html">Contagion and Addiction?</a>) So here is her latest undertaking.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fOLu3BugeCg/VasptrTFMgI/AAAAAAAAUjg/z8ovEnoTpCw/s1600/Jan%2527s%2BEPP%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fOLu3BugeCg/VasptrTFMgI/AAAAAAAAUjg/z8ovEnoTpCw/s400/Jan%2527s%2BEPP%2B2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Jan refers to the prep work on these kinds of projects "idiot's delight." She says that any crazy lady can sit and cut out all these bits of fabric, glue them to the cardboard template, and then place them on paper with two-sided tape. She preps the entire quilt like this and then proceeds to stitch. What a job! But I am loving how her mock-ups are looking, and believe me, she has done a lot more than just what I've shown here. Jan truly gets stuff done.&nbsp; <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wH3sv0bdfrA/VasuIThDaaI/AAAAAAAAUjw/Ik5V_y5eM0M/s1600/Jan%2527s%2BHexies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wH3sv0bdfrA/VasuIThDaaI/AAAAAAAAUjw/Ik5V_y5eM0M/s400/Jan%2527s%2BHexies.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bZgC33xeOlY/Vasp1vZHh9I/AAAAAAAAUjo/_V_FXMZteAw/s1600/Jan%2527s%2BEPP%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bZgC33xeOlY/Vasp1vZHh9I/AAAAAAAAUjo/_V_FXMZteAw/s400/Jan%2527s%2BEPP%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Susan will soon become a first-time grandmother, so she has babies on her mind.

I had only two students, but for the first time around, I think that was about all I could have handled. I learned a few things for next time, and will be able to handle a few more students when I give it another try.<br /><br />And I will say here that in the technical sense, this was more a beginning piecing class than a quilting class. As we actually did no quilting stitches at all, and did learn the basics of chain piecing, that is a more accurate depiction. We also learned about rotary cutters, rulers, mats, consistent quarter-inch seams, and pressing vs. ironing. What a lot! <br /><br />Here are the pillows that my inaugural students went home with. First, Annette used these gorgeous sand and blue colors to create a "beachy" feel. After just returning from a vacation in Florida, I think she might still be in beach mode.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dUY3pHfBn2Q/VanYun8WkdI/AAAAAAAAUi4/FNr1Ty6I8EE/s1600/Annette%2527s%2BBeginner%2BPillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dUY3pHfBn2Q/VanYun8WkdI/AAAAAAAAUi4/FNr1Ty6I8EE/s400/Annette%2527s%2BBeginner%2BPillow.jpg" width="346" />&nbsp;</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sandy's pillow, below, has a romantic and feminine look.

If anything, they are more reluctant or unsure than novice. I hope the girls had a good time, and felt productive. I sure had an awesome day, and wonder why I haven't done this sooner!<br /><br />I will be planning future classes, for sure. I have sizable list of names of people who wanted to come Thursday, but couldn't schedule it. Doing another makes sense, and after all, practice makes perfect.<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/fun-class.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-6520735871755207081Tue, 14 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-14T06:30:02.545-04:00Amiepostage stamp quiltCelebrate!You know that song by Kool and The Gang called Celebration?

I admit to having a fair amount of trepidation at doing this, but really I ought not. I am a teacher - this just happens to be a very different subject than the material I covered in my English and composition classes. Besides, I know piano teachers, guitar teachers, voice teachers, art teachers - all these folks offer instruction, so so why wouldn't a quilter? I think this is a skill people want to learn.<br /><br />So we shall see.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SPxf16QDf88/VaBo9F3jssI/AAAAAAAAUhA/_cNKSGZ9baA/s1600/Beginning%2BSewing%2BFront.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SPxf16QDf88/VaBo9F3jssI/AAAAAAAAUhA/_cNKSGZ9baA/s400/Beginning%2BSewing%2BFront.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>The day-long lesson will be to make a 16-inch pillow like this. I have made 3 of them this week, and I am confident that any beginner will be able to complete it without difficulty. I will take students through cutting, chain-piecing, pressing and ultimate construction of the pillow. While this pillow is done with a closed back (below), the method I will teach is an envelope back which will allow for ease of inserting the pillow form.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kQ33xsRq8Do/VaBqPpu_hRI/AAAAAAAAUhM/D8dhbtjz54U/s1600/Beginning%2BSewing%2BBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kQ33xsRq8Do/VaBqPpu_hRI/AAAAAAAAUhM/D8dhbtjz54U/s320/Beginning%2BSewing%2BBack.jpg" width="294" /></a></div><br />Class is scheduled for next Thursday, and I will be sure to report how everything goes.<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/beginning-sewing-class.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-2256978638521281144Fri, 10 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-10T06:30:02.733-04:00makeoverPillow topsSewing ClassMany Irons in the FireOne of the wonders of being retired is that one can do as much or as little as one wants. I seem to be of the "let's do more" philosophy lately, thus my title - I've currently got several irons in the fire.<br /><br />I will begin today's post by showing you my newly finished chair. I picked up some upholstery tacks - copper, no less! - and put the necessary pieces back together with DH's help. I am very pleased with the results.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LXfxBszxeiw/VZ9VhSdIi2I/AAAAAAAAUgY/a32Jr2THpm0/s1600/Chair%2BFinished.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LXfxBszxeiw/VZ9VhSdIi2I/AAAAAAAAUgY/a32Jr2THpm0/s400/Chair%2BFinished.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>And now for the new iron in the fire. In March, when I taught beginning quilting at the local art space called Spark!, I was approached by some ladies who for whatever reason could not attend. They were interested in learning the basics, and wanted me to offer another class. Well, instead of doing it through Spark!, I am doing it here at my home. I will offer seating for 5 or 6;&nbsp; students will bring their sewing machines and we will sew all day together. The goal will be to learn some basics of sewing and quilting, and also go home with a finished project. The first class will be next week, and we will be making a pillow.<br /><br />I am still working out details and making samples. Here is a pillow front for an 18"pillow.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wJHL33RwfMo/VZ9YMjTOKQI/AAAAAAAAUgk/Cg9R9hH9Kh4/s1600/18-inch%2Bpillow%2Btop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="303" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wJHL33RwfMo/VZ9YMjTOKQI/AAAAAAAAUgk/Cg9R9hH9Kh4/s320/18-inch%2Bpillow%2Btop.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />And below is a pillow front for a 14" pillow. I want to show them several different sizes and color combinations. I may do one more that would yield a 16" pillow, maybe in Christmas fabrics, just for diversity.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QsZyFEWLmgg/VZ9YcpdrnHI/AAAAAAAAUgs/MwIuVepGg_M/s1600/14-inch%2Bpillow%2Btop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="302" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QsZyFEWLmgg/VZ9YcpdrnHI/AAAAAAAAUgs/MwIuVepGg_M/s320/14-inch%2Bpillow%2Btop.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Never a dull moment! I am planning 5 classes, and each one will result in a different project. Several expressed interest in making bags or purses; others wanted to try a wall hanging or table runner. So we have lots of fun in store. It's exciting!!<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/many-irons-in-fire.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-2941122722052716037Thu, 09 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-09T06:30:03.153-04:00chairmakeoverreupholsteringA Makeover<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The chair at my sewing machine is old. It used to be part of a kitchen table set - those vintage 50's styles with metal legs, laminate tables and plastic seats. We never owned the entire set; maybe one other chair, now long gone. How we came to own this chair, I don't even recall. I know that we've had it for most of our marriage, which is 36 years as of last week. And it was definitely used when it came to us. Maybe we bought it at an auction or a yard sale. Not really important for this post, however. It was originally a red chair, as evidenced by the tips (one of which is missing); DH and I covered it in this brown a l-o-n-g time ago.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bycuQyLUugc/VZ3884mOFLI/AAAAAAAAUfU/ZkZ__HFGH9w/s1600/Chair%2BBefore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bycuQyLUugc/VZ3884mOFLI/AAAAAAAAUfU/ZkZ__HFGH9w/s320/Chair%2BBefore.jpg" width="186" /></a></div><br />I decided a month or so back that this chair was ugly and needed a makeover. Also, I was tired of "sticking" to the plastic seat.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--bIOfGscRuM/VZ3-oik9uBI/AAAAAAAAUfg/84yydcB7faY/s1600/Chair%2BRust.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--bIOfGscRuM/VZ3-oik9uBI/AAAAAAAAUfg/84yydcB7faY/s320/Chair%2BRust.jpg" width="146" /></a></div><br />I took it out to DH's workbench to sand off the rust, which was plentiful.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tqQ7uxqpSCg/VZ3_hFrRaCI/AAAAAAAAUfo/z6yuzZ-scwo/s1600/Chair%2BPrimed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tqQ7uxqpSCg/VZ3_hFrRaCI/AAAAAAAAUfo/z6yuzZ-scwo/s320/Chair%2BPrimed.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>After wiping the dust off, I headed out to the driveway to spray everything with primer. I repeated with a spray of paint in a copper color.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BQNpgSEkGHY/VZ4AoppLs4I/AAAAAAAAUf4/jnSuLpnGC4w/s1600/Chair%2BNew%2BSeat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BQNpgSEkGHY/VZ4AoppLs4I/AAAAAAAAUf4/jnSuLpnGC4w/s320/Chair%2BNew%2BSeat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I have finished the seat. I added a layer of fresh batting along with this leafy Westminster fabric from my stash. The seat is attached, thanks to DH's handy staple gun skills. Now I must go to the hardware store to finish the back. I need some pretty upholstery tacks. I am very eager to finish this chair and return it to my sewing room.<br /><br />Now, if you want to <a href="http://www.jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/contagion-and-addiction.html">check my list from Monday</a>, this is item # 11. <br /><br />My previous post about the Snowbird Triangles is item # 9.<br /><br />Proof that if I have a list I am more focused on finishing things.<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-makeover.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-5596008420442020255Wed, 08 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-08T09:11:43.682-04:00HSTscrapsSomething From NothingMaybe you know the difficulty some quilters have with wasting fabric. I probably keep more scraps than I should, and the condition of my quilting room is proof enough. One thing I absolutely cannot allow myself to discard are those cut-away HSTs that result when making flying geese units. I have more than a few sets of these tucked away in various nooks and crannies.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BFmVIfzpdHA/VZyxGWjX-oI/AAAAAAAAUe8/YXtzQ396Pnw/s1600/Snowbird%2BTriangles%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BFmVIfzpdHA/VZyxGWjX-oI/AAAAAAAAUe8/YXtzQ396Pnw/s400/Snowbird%2BTriangles%2B1.jpg" width="297" /></a></div>These 0.75-inch HSTs were cluttering up my workspace and have been since back in March when I made Snowbird Stars.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uNxwOhjQux4/VZyw_Bbj8QI/AAAAAAAAUew/J74PLqfztCM/s1600/Snowbird%2BStars%2BQuilt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uNxwOhjQux4/VZyw_Bbj8QI/AAAAAAAAUew/J74PLqfztCM/s400/Snowbird%2BStars%2BQuilt.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Almost immediately after I finished this quilt top, I sewed together those cut-away triangles; I even trimmed them. Then they just gathered dust for many weeks.<br /><br />Finally, I have sewn them together and I yielded 11 blocks of 5x5 HSTs. Here is what 9 of them look like.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZbKSwLw678E/VZyw2wlkdlI/AAAAAAAAUeo/Mz8_BLcjpe8/s1600/Snowbird%2BHSTs%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZbKSwLw678E/VZyw2wlkdlI/AAAAAAAAUeo/Mz8_BLcjpe8/s400/Snowbird%2BHSTs%2B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />I do love it, and I am right glad that I saved those bits of oftentimes discarded fabric. They are tiny, but just look how pretty when stitched together!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FbsfytO4aTE/VZyxAf7iUSI/AAAAAAAAUe4/hy45nxzPft8/s1600/Snowbird%2BHSTs%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FbsfytO4aTE/VZyxAf7iUSI/AAAAAAAAUe4/hy45nxzPft8/s400/Snowbird%2BHSTs%2B2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/something-from-nothing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-4536140377208297733Mon, 06 Jul 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-07-06T06:40:44.563-04:00English Paper PiecingPatchwork of the CrossesPOTCContagion and AddictionThose are terribly alarming words to use for a quilting post title, but allowing myself to experiment with English Paper Piecing is nothing short of an addiction or being exposed to a contagious germ. The possibilities for beautiful blocks and infinite variety abounds. I fear I will, indeed, succumb to the allure of them. Even the packaging comes with a warning.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoSMk2fhtgU/VZn_rvzQSdI/AAAAAAAAUeI/8TMWANS9uz8/s1600/EPP%2BWarning%2BLabel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zoSMk2fhtgU/VZn_rvzQSdI/AAAAAAAAUeI/8TMWANS9uz8/s320/EPP%2BWarning%2BLabel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The block I have just finished is called a Lucy Boston block or Patchwork of the Crosses - better known as POTC by those firmly established in English Paper Piecing circles. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9iZdxJcJvWw/VZn0as907TI/AAAAAAAAUdw/W8PJiEwVCwI/s1600/POTC%2Bon%2Bpoint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9iZdxJcJvWw/VZn0as907TI/AAAAAAAAUdw/W8PJiEwVCwI/s400/POTC%2Bon%2Bpoint.jpg" width="393" /></a></div><br />Placed this way, on point, the cross is clearly evident. I assume as I do more of these, I will get faster. Finishing this first one was quite a bit more time-consuming than I hope future ones will take. In other words, I hope there's a learning curve as I practice.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U1sm1cxCpic/VZn0kCIMcQI/AAAAAAAAUd4/WrVPc36U5mI/s1600/POTC%2Bsquared-up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U1sm1cxCpic/VZn0kCIMcQI/AAAAAAAAUd4/WrVPc36U5mI/s320/POTC%2Bsquared-up.jpg" width="311" /></a></div>Placing the block square on a quilt offers an equally lovely look, but the cross is not quite so evident. I think depending on the design one makes with the fussy-cut fabrics, one or the other placement would be preferable; and the quilter will just know when she sees it, I suppose.<br /><br />I find that I am in that all-too-familiar place where I have so many projects vying for my attention that I am not dealing with any of them. When this occurs, I make a list. In no particular order, I have the following projects to work on.<br /><br />1, 2, and 3. The Work Shirt Quilts (yes, a third has been added)<br />4. July UFO - 16-patch blocks<br />5. June UFO - Heart Wall Hanging<br />6. May UFO - 9-patch Strippy<br />7. Borders on the Blue Churn Dash<br />8. Begin red &amp; white quilt project with Sharon<br />9. Finish Snowbird Triangles<br />10. Sewing Supplies Carry-All<br />11. Reupholster Kitchen Chair<br />12.

I never did get around to sharing those pictures, and since I have neglected to take pictures of my ongoing progress on the work shirt quilts, I think this would be a good time to take care of old business.<br /><br />If ever two pictures could illustrate how varied our interests are, then these two do just that. One quilt is bright and crisp; the other muted and warm. Opposite ends of the spectrum, in my opinion. And on any given day, these quilts could come from any one of us. Well, almost.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lftFymM8kNQ/VZTCAaIVwUI/AAAAAAAAUc4/g4looAAdFKc/s1600/Jan%2527s%2BColorful%2BStars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lftFymM8kNQ/VZTCAaIVwUI/AAAAAAAAUc4/g4looAAdFKc/s400/Jan%2527s%2BColorful%2BStars.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Jan sure gets a lot done, and this finish shows her versatility.

I now have even more reminders of her scattered about my house -- her love of cardinals -- her love of quilting -- her love of family -- several mementos now grace some nooks and crannies in my home, and I am reminded of her often.<br /><br />So on we go, into the latter half of 2015! I have one of my work shirt quilt tops finished, and have a good start on the second. Pictures will be coming soon. I need to make a list of UFOs needing completion. In addition to those specific to our UFO challenge, I have amasssed others, as well.<br /><br />I thought I would start the new month with an update from my friend and former student, Amie. She is the one who made a request for fabric scraps and became inundated with fabric from all corners of the country. <a href="http://www.jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/04/amies-incredible-story.html">Here is the post explaining all of that.</a><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6iDFrdh-pfs/VZP5E1dE76I/AAAAAAAAUcg/fEK_u7-6JHA/s1600/Amie%2527s%2BSailboats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6iDFrdh-pfs/VZP5E1dE76I/AAAAAAAAUcg/fEK_u7-6JHA/s400/Amie%2527s%2BSailboats.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Amie has worked sporadically on finishing her postage stamp quilt because she has other projects in the queue like the baby quilt you see above. Isn't it darling? Some sweet baby will love it. Amie sent the following update last week (slightly edited):<br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">I had pretty much stopped getting fabric in the mail.&nbsp; I think I received one envelope right before we left (for a family trip) on (May) 30th.&nbsp;&nbsp; But then over the last two weeks I have received probably 8 or 9 packages.&nbsp; One of those was from a lady that has become a pen pal but she always puts a few pieces in. I started piecing blocks again and I only need 7 more!&nbsp; If I hadn't had a few other projects thrown into my lap, I would have had all the blocks finished I'm sure. But that's okay.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">I am planning on sending <i>GRIT</i> an email to hopefully put in their "letters to the editor column", thanking everyone for their responses and letting them know I really don't need any more fabric.&nbsp; We just got the latest issue and someone requested fabric for making yo-yo's.&nbsp; I'm going to send her a package and warn her of what might be coming her way.&nbsp; I have now filled a third, very large container.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">On Father's Day, I showed mom and my sister all the scraps and told them to pick out&nbsp; a scrap pattern and we can all get together and sew from my bins.&nbsp; I bought supplies to start my scrapbook of letters and pictures but haven't been able to get it started yet.&nbsp; It's on my summer to-do list but keeps getting bumped. </span></span><br /><br />Every time I read about Amie's experience, I just think of how heartwarming it is that quilters are so giving. I will definitely bring pictures of Amie's postage stamp quilt as she nears completion.<br /><br />Have a great July, and<br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/07/july-has-arrived.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-3632987542411504753Tue, 30 Jun 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-06-30T09:03:17.898-04:00English Paper PiecingLucy Boston BlocksPatchwork of the CrossesI Caved Bombarding me from every direction, it's a wonder I have managed to hold out as long as I have. Quilting friends have tempted me. Pictures on Pinterest tempt me, as well. What is the temptation? English Paper Piecing. The name of these versatile blocks is <span style="color: red;"><strike>Points</strike></span> Patchwork of the Crosses, or Lucy Boston blocks. Just do a search of those terms on Pinterest and see what gorgeousness pops up. Endless examples, each beautiful in its own way. Infinite variety.(Sorry; I had been using the wrong name; all correct now.)<br /><br />Yes, those fussy little templates and the stunning blocks that result have finally broken my resolve to skip this current quilting craze. I'd been given a packet of templates and fabrics; I'd both watched and overheard impromptu tutorials by avid devotees. <br /><br />It all finally just wore me down.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hB3kKc9OMx8/VZIhqP-jkqI/AAAAAAAAUb4/fY89P5ofF7c/s1600/IMG_2436%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hB3kKc9OMx8/VZIhqP-jkqI/AAAAAAAAUb4/fY89P5ofF7c/s400/IMG_2436%25281%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>I took some scraps from one of the work shirts I've been using and I fussy cut some 3/4-inch hexies and stitched them together to make a wreath. I envision finishing this with a string so that it could be used as a Christmas tree ornament. I made this on Saturday evening.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZZOVau6TSAY/VZIjUMhxMfI/AAAAAAAAUcE/zCsRM4MjKrs/s1600/IMG_2446.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZZOVau6TSAY/VZIjUMhxMfI/AAAAAAAAUcE/zCsRM4MjKrs/s400/IMG_2446.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>After considering it for about a day and a half, I decided that I would put a center in it, also a work shirt scrap. I probably should have looked for a bigger piece for the center so I could do a better job of centering the plaid, but eh, what the heck, it's my first one; I'll work that stuff out on future efforts.<br /><br />Future efforts. <i>Sigh</i>. Yes, I suspect there will be future efforts. I fear that I am falling&nbsp; in beyond the point of no return with this technique.<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-caved.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-2107877715468993310Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-06-29T06:30:02.737-04:00quilt campA Final Look at Quilt CampYou've seen the variety of projects we worked on last week, but there were some other activities that I think you'll find interesting.<br /><br />A new camper, Jan, is a woman with many talents, and she never does anything but what she puts 110% into it. I have shared her expertise in the world of Lucy Boston blocks and English Paper Piecing after our Canter's Cave retreat last April. <a href="http://www.jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/04/sweet-jan.html">Click here to refresh your memory</a>. Well, she shared more at quilt camp. Take a look at this incredible display.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ePnEkM2WFxA/VZC6FIctK-I/AAAAAAAAUaM/tA9dpvyjFQc/s1600/IMG_3017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ePnEkM2WFxA/VZC6FIctK-I/AAAAAAAAUaM/tA9dpvyjFQc/s200/IMG_3017.JPG" width="200" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_cl8wbCW0JU/VZC6HCNrwgI/AAAAAAAAUaU/K-SB7qhjlBc/s1600/IMG_3018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_cl8wbCW0JU/VZC6HCNrwgI/AAAAAAAAUaU/K-SB7qhjlBc/s200/IMG_3018.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p1uEyHMr6J0/VZC6IWtzrbI/AAAAAAAAUac/mqFSyr5d4PI/s1600/IMG_3019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p1uEyHMr6J0/VZC6IWtzrbI/AAAAAAAAUac/mqFSyr5d4PI/s200/IMG_3019.JPG" width="150" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--x4PX3k3srE/VZC8GZ2MEsI/AAAAAAAAUao/QahAh98IFGo/s1600/IMG_3020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--x4PX3k3srE/VZC8GZ2MEsI/AAAAAAAAUao/QahAh98IFGo/s200/IMG_3020.JPG" width="150" /></a></div>She will be doing a demo on EPP at an upcoming guild meeting, so this tri-fold board full of info and all the additional materials to go with it were quite a hit with campers. She converted a few more folks to the EPP world, and I have to confess that I made my first little practice piece on Saturday.<br /><br />Jan also had a very cool caddy at her sewing station. She made it of sock monkey fabric, and it is chock-full of all the quilting necessities.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HyHTrpO060I/VZC9cq73SVI/AAAAAAAAUa0/xCVpGmh5kGM/s1600/IMG_3021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HyHTrpO060I/VZC9cq73SVI/AAAAAAAAUa0/xCVpGmh5kGM/s320/IMG_3021.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GdYwsx6au_E/VZC9dzZ_hfI/AAAAAAAAUa8/RRpeGd0OCi4/s1600/IMG_3022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GdYwsx6au_E/VZC9dzZ_hfI/AAAAAAAAUa8/RRpeGd0OCi4/s320/IMG_3022.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />Here is Jan, having a bit of a problem with her water - she didn't drink off a bit before pouring in her Crystal Lite packet, and as a result had a small eruption.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dvUcac_JfDg/VZC-OGSpkTI/AAAAAAAAUbE/ZrJRQNZLLtI/s1600/IMG_2953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dvUcac_JfDg/VZC-OGSpkTI/AAAAAAAAUbE/ZrJRQNZLLtI/s320/IMG_2953.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Silliness wasn't limited to Jan, though. Here's Anita striking a pose on the chaise lounge under a grand quilt.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g8s6rjiY-_0/VZC_C18mr9I/AAAAAAAAUbM/yEOVZIl8jf0/s1600/IMG_2981.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g8s6rjiY-_0/VZC_C18mr9I/AAAAAAAAUbM/yEOVZIl8jf0/s320/IMG_2981.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />We had a seriously hot day on Wednesday, and&nbsp; even in the a/c we were sweating. Sharon discovered that she forgot to bring a band to pull her hair back in a ponytail. Never fear! A quilter can improvise! A strip of fabric works in a pinch.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PF7M8dy_7ZE/VZC_n5_-O-I/AAAAAAAAUbU/N638KAoy3WE/s1600/IMG_2958.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PF7M8dy_7ZE/VZC_n5_-O-I/AAAAAAAAUbU/N638KAoy3WE/s320/IMG_2958.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />All fun aside, we did have a productive week, and most of us spent a few (or more) dollars downstairs in the quilt shop. Here are the purchases I made.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b4N7CmmGmH4/VZDAVH5fUwI/AAAAAAAAUbo/k2x04PQpg_4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528293%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b4N7CmmGmH4/VZDAVH5fUwI/AAAAAAAAUbo/k2x04PQpg_4/s400/FullSizeRender%2528293%2529.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Seven fabrics - all half-yards. I have very few purples and pinks in my stash, so I think I have filled in some gaps with these. Then, in keeping with that EPP opening, I will show you that I succumbed to the pressure. I bought a glue stick and refill for prepping EPP templates. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">*sigh*</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TxLNwvaqgTo/VZDATPEfHiI/AAAAAAAAUbg/gMYt76cg8pg/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528292%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TxLNwvaqgTo/VZDATPEfHiI/AAAAAAAAUbg/gMYt76cg8pg/s400/FullSizeRender%2528292%2529.jpg" width="197" /></a></div>It's a new week, quilters! I am hosting a brunch at 10am for an friend from way back in my early teaching days. Dee and I began our careers at CHS together in the fall of 1979, and even though she left CHS after a few years, we have tried to stay in touch across the miles. Sharon will be joining us for a brunch of quiche, muffins and strawberries. I must get busy in the kitchen!<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-final-look-at-quilt-camp.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-3194063129278146037Sun, 28 Jun 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-06-28T06:30:00.487-04:00Centennial CelebrationGreenfield Historical SocietyMcClain High SchoolMy Other HobbyMaybe you know; maybe you don't. I do have other interests besides quilting and today I will tell you about a project that makes me pretty darned excited.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nRhYkdxZkEc/VY93eAOLVpI/AAAAAAAAUZ0/Qz-MURI5Xfg/s1600/MHS%2BBook.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nRhYkdxZkEc/VY93eAOLVpI/AAAAAAAAUZ0/Qz-MURI5Xfg/s400/MHS%2BBook.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />For most of 2014, I worked with a committee at the Greenfield Historical Society to write a book about our local high school, Edward Lee McClain HS, which is celebrating its centennial this September.<br /><br />Each member of our committee offered unique contributions to the project--some were researchers, others were organizers, and others were photographers. My only function was to write. Whew. It was work, but of the very most enjoyable kind. The book went to the publisher the first of January; we had a couple of opportunities through the winter to check proofs. On Thursday, June 11, it was delivered. That was quite an exciting day, let me tell you! The finished product is amazing, and most folks around town who have picked up their book are complimenting it. I think it will be successful, thankfully.<br /><br />If you want to tour our beautiful school, come join us at our big Centennial Celebration on Labor Day weekend. The book will be on sale, too. <a href="http://www.greenfieldhistoricalsociety.org/">Click here to access the Greenfield Historical Society website.</a><br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/06/my-other-hobby.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542748653129887132.post-7334000526840580560Sat, 27 Jun 2015 10:30:00 +00002015-06-27T06:30:02.191-04:002015 Quilt CampQuilt Camp Progress Report #4<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>The final day of quilt camp brought us the following progress.<br /><br />Pat has continued to add borders to her Ohio State quilt. I thought the picture I shared yesterday was the finish, but this one from today shows additions, and she says there are still more to go on. It will eventually finish as a twin-size quilt.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cft9sssmQPg/VY4YWV0lw6I/AAAAAAAAUYc/dpOdTE-wwyo/s1600/IMG_3030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cft9sssmQPg/VY4YWV0lw6I/AAAAAAAAUYc/dpOdTE-wwyo/s400/IMG_3030.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>Ohio State quilts were a theme this week as Jan worked on her own OSU project. These many stack and whack blocks will end up being quite a wonderful creation.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gk0ZeTNUTuc/VY4bauTN2XI/AAAAAAAAUZE/X1Kkmu_Dqdo/s1600/IMG_3025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gk0ZeTNUTuc/VY4bauTN2XI/AAAAAAAAUZE/X1Kkmu_Dqdo/s400/IMG_3025.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />Betty moved on to another Halloween project.

I have been "niggling" about the 2nd work shirt quilt that I will be making, so some of my day was spent experimenting with options, which I plan to share in some future posts.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yDQGiP5IHac/VY4eGGSKd-I/AAAAAAAAUZc/FFFAXFoZUeg/s1600/IMG_3026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yDQGiP5IHac/VY4eGGSKd-I/AAAAAAAAUZc/FFFAXFoZUeg/s400/IMG_3026.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>So that's a wrap on this year's quilt camp. I will throw out some additional related things concerning our week, but I will get to that in a day or two.<br /><br />Happy Quilting, Friends!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s1600/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IR5MUNkXTbk/VRzTnKwv_4I/AAAAAAAATP4/Htsy5Tzwva4/s200/FullSizeRender%2528174%2529.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />http://jaynesquiltingroom.blogspot.com/2015/06/quilt-camp-progress-report-4.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jayne Honnold)0
